Interpol – Stella Was a Diver and She Was Always Down Lyrics 22 years ago
I think it's about a chick he only uses for oral sex. But maybe I'm just dense.

Hot Snakes – If Credit Is What Matters I'll Take Credit Lyrics 22 years ago
Dark, brooding, menacing, catchy -- all adjectives to describe the hot snakes and this song.

Sleater-Kinney – One Beat Lyrics 22 years ago
Best song about alternative energy ever.

submissions
Sleater-Kinney – Oh! Lyrics 22 years ago
Yeah, those lyrics do seem a little messed up. Anyway, I've always thought this song was about masturbation and female sexual liberation -- or something.

Thursday – Dying In New Brunswick Lyrics 23 years ago
Thursday is just manufactured shit riding off the coat-tails of emo. The band needs to go take a short walk off of a long pier.

submissions
Mindless Self Indulgence – Clarissa Lyrics 23 years ago
Echoes of panty shot eh?

Anyway, I think it's just about wanting to fuck melisa joan heart. I know I had a crush on her when I was little (though never anything this graphic.. not quite)

Mindless Self Indulgence – Faggot Lyrics 23 years ago
If you listen to F before "Faggot" (gotta love the alphabetized lyrics) it seems pretty pro-sexual choice.

"Now tell me guys, and be honest, do I look gay in this?"
*crowd screams YES*
"Phew, huh, for a second there I thought I looked like a faggot"
*delivered totally dead pan while wearing about 1 square foot of clothing and a cod piece*

Mindless Self Indulgence – Bitches Lyrics 23 years ago
It means about as much as any other MSI song.

Pixies – Velouria Lyrics 23 years ago
Is it just me, or does most alterna rock sound like the pixies. Long live Black Francis.

Cibo Matto – Birthday Cake Lyrics 23 years ago
It's about the things that Cibo Matto's songs usually are, drugs and food.

submissions
Grandaddy – Jed's Other Poem (Beautiful Ground) Lyrics 23 years ago
A followup to "Jed the humanoid". A robot that gets drunk and dies. The lyrics between the two songs connect pretty well anyway. You can form whatever impressions you want about what this song is supposed to represent beyond the literal meaning.

submissions
The Dillinger Escape Plan – When Good Dogs Do Bad Things Lyrics 23 years ago
Patton lends his psychopathic story-telling lyrics to the amazing technicallity of the DEP. Grinding, jamming, hard hitting intruments, and Patton's screeching cajoling howl. Rock on.

Anyway, to me this is like a lot of Patton's songs, in the way that it tells a story of some sort. The story in this case seems to be a couple breaking up in a diner. That's what I get out of it anyway.

Tomahawk – 101 North Lyrics 23 years ago
No, YOU suck.

But really, I think that this song is about a killer who hitches rides. Sort of like an urban legend encapsulated in a song.

The Doors – The End Lyrics 23 years ago
It's used well in Apocolypse now

At the Drive-In – Pattern Against User Lyrics 23 years ago
I personally like the Mars Volta better.

At the Drive-In – Enfilade Lyrics 23 years ago
Oh yeah, 'Enfilade' is defined as:
Gunfire directed along the length of a target, such as a column of troops.
A target vulnerable to sweeping gunfire.
Architecture. A linear arrangement of a series of interior doors, as to a suite of rooms, so as to provide a vista when the doors are open.

So it's probably about architexture.

submissions
Creed – My Sacrifice Lyrics 23 years ago
I can't even begin to express my hate for creed. This song is the pinnacle focus of that hate.

Scott Stap is a contemptable, egotistical, moron. He not only seems to think he's jesus (I'm not kidding, I've heard him quoted saying something to that effect), he also thinks he's the best thing to happen to rock since.. well, ever. I've got news for you, if you want to hear classic rock there are better bands. If you want to hear Christian rock (and who the hell knows why anyone would want to do that) there are better bands. If you want to hear good music, creed is not the band. They suck. They suck. They suck.


P.S. Their lyrics are pretty much a single solid block of cliches.

The Cooper Temple Clause – Who Needs Enemies? Lyrics 23 years ago
I love The Cooper Temple Claus, but it's impossible to find their CD's anywhere. Guess I'll have to cave in and get 'em from amazon.

Sigur Rós – Starálfur Lyrics 23 years ago
I enjoy Sigur Ros, sort of makes me wish I could understand what they were saying on a majority of their music.

Sex Pistols – Anarchy in the U.K. Lyrics 23 years ago
Fuck the scene. The sex pistols are an awesome band, and defy all the scenester tom-fuckery. I doubt johny rotten or sid vicious cared that they were the foundations of punk -- they were just producing good music.

submissions
Sex Pistols – God Save the Queen Lyrics 23 years ago
The sex pistols are golden gods of music. Even though in theory they suck, they play with such energy and conviction as to make it awesome. Plus they manage to convey a message without beating you over the fuggin' head with it.

Dashboard Confessional – Screaming Infidelities Lyrics 23 years ago
Sectionalizing music is gay. I like music with sounds and lyrics. But not just any sounds and lyrics like some lame bands have, real sounds and lyrics.

There, see how stupid that sounds?

Anyone who insists on any definition of emo is a poseur, as is anyone who defines themselves by it.

Plus this song is banal and stupid. Yeah, yeah, you broke up with your girlfriend or something. Wasn't what the last song was about? Maybe it was about prejudice or hating your parents, my mistake.

submissions
Red Hot Chili Peppers – By the Way Lyrics 23 years ago
I think that RHCP were just going for cool sounding words to a cool back beat. There's nothing to this.

Dashboard Confessional – Screaming Infidelities Lyrics 23 years ago
Dashboard sucks.
'Emo' sucks.
You makeoutclub.com rejects suck.

Breaking Benjamin – Polyamorous Lyrics 23 years ago
Though this band is destined to be one-hit nu-metal slosh, i enjoy them and this song. Here's hoping they won't become the next huge thing, and maintain some integrety.

submissions
At the Drive-In – Enfilade Lyrics 23 years ago
Unless you want to dig into it really deeply, and take "Sacrifice on railroad tracks" to mean track-marks from heroin use. And I'd have to say that a heroin high hits you like a freight train.

submissions
Nada Surf – Popular Lyrics 23 years ago
I think it's just supposed to be a funny song.. not like a rallying cry or anything. Nada surf kicks ass regardless.

Hoobastank – Crawling In The Dark Lyrics 23 years ago
Oh goody, banal derivative lyrics masked over by a monotone nu-metal whine.

submissions
Aphex Twin – Milkman Lyrics 23 years ago
Some of the songs off of Drukqs were made from a program that can take the light / dark shades of pixels and create sound from them (or something like that). So pretty much all of the beeps and boops were made out of a picture of RDJ's face, and an image of a demon. Fun stuff.

submissions
OutKast – B.O.B. Lyrics 23 years ago
As per usually Outkast's message is wasted. Still a fucking well done hip-hop peice, beats all the derivative gangster shit.

submissions
OutKast – The Whole World Lyrics 23 years ago
I think that it shows how the rich white like to pretend to be urbane and cool by listening to rap. At least that's what the video seems to be saying. Good hip-hop none the less.

Pixies – Tony's Theme Lyrics 23 years ago
My name is Tony, and I like to listen to this while driving around. But never while someone else is in the car, that would just make me seem like an egomaniac.

Pixies – Where Is My Mind? Lyrics 23 years ago
Did you just ask if he pixies were now sparta? Holy shit. Well, the pixies broke up in the early nineties, and At the Drive In (the band from whom sparta derives) broke up in the late nineties.. if that tells you anything.

To me, it's always seemed to be a song about losing control of your mind. Which is why it fit so well into that final scene in fight club.

Pixies – Alec Eiffel Lyrics 23 years ago
Art isn't appreciated in its time maybe?

submissions
Radiohead – The Amazing Sounds of Orgy Lyrics 23 years ago
To me this is about the slow collapse of the world, while one guy and someone he loves just sit back and watch. It really reminds me of apocalypse now / heart of darkness -- and was pretty much all I listened to when we studied this in english this past year.

submissions
David Bowie – Space Oddity Lyrics 23 years ago
I think song is about celebrity. After you get put into space by the media, and your fans, and their collective expectations, you lose your normal life. You have to leave every mundane thing you loved before. And then once the celebrity leaves, you're stranded in space (so to speak), and you can't ever really come down. Plus there's bowie's drug habbits and such... I guess that makes sense too.

submissions
At the Drive-In – Hourglass Lyrics 23 years ago
I think it's about loneliness. I'm sure about the details (sometimes I get a dying astronaut, sometimes I get a kid who's in trouble at school), but it's about being lonely and desperate -- yet sort of resigning yourself to it.

submissions
At the Drive-In – Initiation Lyrics 23 years ago
I always pictured it as some guy who used to be friends / romanticly involved with someone who's in a band locally, then moves onto the big time. He then obsesses over them until he becomes a homicidal stalker. I love ATDI.

submissions
At the Drive-In – Invalid Litter Dept. Lyrics 23 years ago
Even though I enjoy the political statement behind this song, I used to think of it another way.

Before I knew about jaurez ME, I always though the song was about two rebels fighting an oppresive government. It's sort of hard to place, but that's what I always pictured when this song came on.

submissions
At the Drive-In – Quarantined Lyrics 23 years ago
I always see ATDI's songs as more science fiction than political commentary. To me this is just a vivid description of the chemical end of the world.

Elliott Smith – Needle in the Hay Lyrics 23 years ago
To start; the title:
To me, if something is a needle inside of a haystack, then it's something that's especially hard to find -- to the point of frustration. For the character in the song (perhaps for Elliot as the singer) this is respite from a poor family life, or just from the chaos of life. And to the singer this respite is heroin.
